126 West 80th Street, Manhattan

A seven-unit brownstone co-op where resident ownership keeps daily management close to home on the Upper West Side.

A 7-unit prewar co-op on West 80th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam, built in 1895. Head officer David Sturek bought into the building himself back in 2007, reflecting a small-scale, resident-led setup where shareholder consensus drives daily decisions. Three things to know:

Commercial venting and air quality calls pop up in the immediate surroundings. In the surrounding three blocks, 14 food establishment complaints and 8 indoor air quality calls surfaced over the last year. Commercial kitchen exhaust and restaurant venting on nearby avenues frequently drift, which can bleed into living spaces depending on unit elevation and shaft placement.

Small unit count concentrates capital cost allocation. With only seven apartments, capital expenditures for brownstone exterior maintenance, masonry, or mechanical upkeep are split among a small pool of shareholders. The lack of high-density scale means reserve fund health directly dictates individual assessment risk.

Hydrant blocks and sign violations drive street-level curb friction. City systems logged 225 illegal parking calls within three blocks over the last 12 months, driven by 104 posted sign violations and 69 blocked hydrants. It is short-errand curb turnover between Columbus and Amsterdam rather than long-term vehicle storage.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 164 unsanitary condition reports within three blocks, dominated by mold and pest complaints
• 81 residential noise calls within three blocks, centered on banging and loud music
• 27 rodent complaints recorded within three blocks over the last year
